GI Joe: 2006 Personnel and Equipment
Personnel:
Cover Girl: after she grew tired of life as a fashion model, Courtney joined the Army to properly challenge herself. Becoming a grease monkey and an Armor expert, she's proven her skills time and time again, usually at the wheel of her Wolverine! Availability:
Frostbite: born in crisp, cool Galena, Alaska, Frostbite grew up to handle the snow and ice like second nature. This taught him how to easily do almost any job under such conditions, whether fixing a leaky oil pipeline or driving the Snow Cat into battle! Availability:
GI Jane: a member of GI Joe since the 1960s, GI Jane Martelle specializes in high-energy physics and intelligence work. Though usually working in a support role these days, GI Jane still has her skills and her edge, and is not to be underestimated! Availability:
GI Joe: Joseph B. Colton was the founder and leader of the original, 1960s GI Joe team. He has decades of combat experience, both public and secret. Aside from possibly Duke, he is likely the only person to serve on both incarnations of the GI Joe team! Availability:
Grand Slam: a comic book / sci-fi fan, James has always been fascinated with advanced technology. An electronics major in college, he attended the Army's Special Weapons and Advanced Technology schools, allowing him to wield the HAL! Availability:
Low-Light: lost in the woods for three weeks during a hunting trip gone wrong, Cooper overcame his fear of the dark, animals, and loud noises - and how! He grew up to become one with the night, and is an expert tracker, night spotter, and sniper! Availability:
Med Alert: a former emergency room doctor, Kirk stepped up to the plate when he felt his country needed him, and enlisted. As a combat medic and as a Tai Chi Chuan instructor, Kirk excels as both a friend, mentor, and caretaker of his fellow GI Joes! Availability:
Spirit: a psychologist and Vietnam veteran, Charlie is an expert woodsman that brings considerable talent to GI Joe. His fellows fail to understand him now and then, but they respect his skill and his ability to keep them alive! Availability:
Flashback Figures:
Snake-Eyes: a singularly mysterious man, the commando known only as Snake-Eyes has experienced nothing but tragedy in his life. However, he's persevered through the years, and become a true force to be reckoned with - as would any other ninja master! Availability:
Stalker: though he started out as an urban warlord in Detroit, Lonzo cleaned up his act and joined the Army, quickly becoming one of its very best operatives. A qualified Ranger, helicopter pilot, and field medic, Lonzo is an invaluable GI Joe operative! Availability:
Storm Shadow: Tommy Arashikage, originally Cobra's greatest ninja, eventually broke free of that organization's influence. Turning his life around, he has since joined the GI Joe team, and works to make amends for his many dark deeds! Availability:
the Renegades
Sgt. Slaughter: a force of nature, Sgt. Slaughter was born on Parris Island, and raised to become as tough and mean as is humanly possible - a perfect Marine! The ultimate drill instructor, the Sarge is who GI Joe relies upon to keep themselves on their toes! Availability:
Mercer: an ex-Cobra Viper who has 'seen the light', Felix has turned on his former terrorist allies and is all about bringing them down. Though unable to work for the Joes in an official capacity, he has found a home in Sergeant Slaughter's Renegades! Availability:
Red Dog: a former pro football player, David Taputapu got sacked for unnecessary roughness. After a stint as a Hollywood stunt man, he was recruited by GI Joe, as the powers that be thought he'd be an excellent addition to Sgt. Slaughter's Renegades! Availability:
Taurus: Varujan Ayvazyan was a Turkish circus acrobat who did undercover work for Interpol, when he wasn't smashing two-by-fours with his face under the big top. An expert in over a dozen languages, Taurus was an ideal candidate to join GI Joe's Renegades! Availability:
Steel Brigade:
Checkpoint: a man-mountain of a collegiate wrestler, Jared Wade became an MP upon leaving school, and was eventually assigned to GI Joe's reserve team: the Steel Brigade! Jared's feud with Major Barrage has kept him from becoming a full-time Joe, however. Availability:
Red Zone: ultimately booted out of the FBI for being too rough on criminals and their precious property, Luke was transferred to the GI Joe team, who saw that 'liability' as an asset. He now helps them out as a member of their reserve, Steel Brigade unit! Availability:
Rook: an expert behavioral analyst and the master of no less than fourteen distinct languages, Andy was eagerly recruited by the GI Joe team. His advanced people skills unfailingly help them to dig up dirt on upcoming terrorist activity before it's too late! Availability:
Equipment:
the Ice Sabre: equipped with four machine guns and two rocket launchers, the Ice Sabre is a powerful snow and ice vehicle GI Joe can bring to bear against Cobra or any other terrorists foolish enough to oppose freedom and liberty near the world's poles. Availability:
the Renegades
the Armadillo Mini-Tank: a tank in miniature, the Armadillo packs the fire power of four linked, 60mm cannons into a vehicle the size of a Ford ™ Escort ™. Though small, and having only one real weapon to speak of, it's fast and highly durable. Availability:
the Renegades' Warthog APV: a replacement for the Joes' old APC, the Renegades' Warthog Armored Personnel Vehicle does the exact same job, albiet in a smaller, more heavily armed and armored capacity. This makes it more suitable for special missions and the like. Availability:
